I need to add a header Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * into one of my template files. How would I do this I would like it to be for just this specific template so that its not site wide,
I think you're looking for is_page_template();
<?php
if(is_page_template('your-page-template.php')) { //Change this to the path to your wordpress template
//Add your code here...
} ?>
you can create a custom template page and call the custom Header on this template.
To create a page and apply a page template
use this code to create page template
First you need to have a single page. There are several ways to do it, one is to create a page in wordpress, then use the ID and create a file page-ID.php in the theme folder. Other way is to create a template file which you can select from the side menu in the wordpress editor.
In that page, you can add the php header and the code you want to show.

My theme doesn't support custom headers when trying via a plugin so i was wondering if there was another way around this?
Tested WP Header Images by adding some code in header.php, but doesn't seem to work.
Tried the plugin Unique Headers, but it pops a message that the theme doesn't provide custom header when activating it.
By default, there is the same header for every WordPress page of the site. But how to call different header in WordPress? For that, create a new header-your page.php file i.e create a header file for the page you want a different header. Suppose you want a different header on about page. Create a header-about.php file and keep it in the Theme folder.
Then, go in page template file say page.php and replace the header code with
<?php
if(is_page(about))
{
get_header('about');
}
else
{
get_header();
}
wp_head();
?>
You can see, is_page is used to check the page id for “about” page. The function get_header is used for calling a new header file. Simply, the above code is informing WordPress that if someone opens the page, which is ‘about’ then WordPress will display a file called header-about.php if it is existing. If not, then WordPress will render the default header file.
This way, you can call different WordPress headers on different pages.
I have a custom page template built in a child theme and I need to call out a custom header.
I have template-home.php page template calling out
<?php get_header('home'); ?>
for the header.
I have a saved wp-header-home.php with a little custom button that I need to get.
The page template is unsuccessful at calling out the custom header-home, rather it's calling out the default wp-header.php. I can see when I add my changes into that file, they're reflected.
So, what's going on? Why does my
<?php get_header('home'); ?>
not work to get the wp-header-home.php? What am I doing wrong?
This is the site in question: http://va.northwaydesigns.com
Create the file with header-home.php
Is there a way I can make the header and footer appear on all pages without placing get_header(); or get_footer(); in each of the separate page files? Is there something I can do in the loop or somewhere else that automatically does this?
You want to show get_header() and get_footer() to all the pages. For that you just mention get_header() and get_footer() in each custom template you have created. By default you can place it inside page.php file.
Also if you want to use custom header and custom footer , then you need to create header-custom.php and footer-custom.php file and call them inside any template like the following.
get_header('custom');
get_footer('custom');
It works with just placing them in the page.php file of your theme.
I have a .php file which uses some WP functions e.g. get_stylesheet_directory_uri(), query_posts, etc... and $wpdb of course.
File it self return JSON data so it is not intended for viewing on its own.
I'm not looking for template, or clicking around in WP dashboard, I just want to know where is the good place in WP file structure to put the .php file and expect WP functions and object to be available.
And also what do I need to include at the top?
You can create custom template in theme root directory or in child theme (child theme is important when you are creating custom template).
template should contain template name, header and footer function.
eg. custom-tpl.php
<?php
Template Name: My Custom Temlate
get_header();
//your other functions and content goes here
get_footer();
after creating template it will appear in your edit page template section under drop down. select custom template for your page and view page you will get your output
You can create a custom page template.
Inside the page template:
<?php
global $wpdb;
[here you will write your code]
?>
On the front pages where you want the json output, use this url
http://domainname.com/wp-content/themes/themename/custompagetemplatename.php
Use your domain name (domainname), theme name (themename) and theme template file name (custompagetemplatename) in place of example names in the url. This url will return you the output for your code.
About this comment in your template:
<?php
/* Template Name: Full Width Page */
?>
You do not need a template name in the header of your file unless you want to use this as a template for pages in wordpress.
I need to include a custom PHP page in Wordpress.
So what I need to do is just to show this custom php page using the Wordpress theme installed on that Wordpress.
Does not mind which theme is up, the custom php page will have to be shown under any theme is installed in that moment.
How do I do it in Wordpress?
I am new to Wordpress development.
Thanks
Creating a custom php page that will be able to be viewed in any theme (and have the theme applied) would be considerably difficult.
Each wordpress page calls specific theme functions of that particular theme, as well as referencing files of that theme to generate header, footer, css files, javascript files, etc.. Your custom page would need to plan for all of these contingencies, for each possible theme used.
Here's a alternative solution: inject PHP code directly into a standard wordpress page via this plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/allow-php-in-posts-and-pages/
Meaning: you make a normal wordpress page, but are able to add php to it. When this page is rendered, the proper page template is used, and all the theme references are taken care of for you.
You could do this easily with a page template. WordPress allows you to create page templates which can be assigned to a page via the 'Page Attributes' panel within the page editor. These templates are php files inside your theme directory which begin with some code like (see this page in The Codex for more info):
<?php
/*
Template name: Custom PHP Page
*/
?>
<?php // begin custom PHP page ?>
Typically a template is a variation on the regular theme files (such as page.php) and would call the get_header() and get_footer() functions and have an instance of the loop. However if you simply want to use a custom PHP page, then all you need to do is create the file you want inside the current theme directory and add the above code at the very top of the file.
To output the custom PHP page on your site, you would need to add a new page via the admin area and then assign your new page template to this page.
Alternatively, if you want to include a custom PHP page inside an existing theme file, you use the code:
<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/includes/file.php'); ?>
in this case your custom PHP file would be located inside a directory called 'includes' within your current theme directory.

It's not that difficult. Here's what you need:
Once you include the main wordpress blog header, the entire armamentarium of wordpress functions is available to you, which allows you to get the active theme's directory. Once you get that, just include the header and the footer of the theme.
// If title is not displayed before loading the header, Wordpress displays "Page not found" as the title
echo "<head>
<title>Your page title</title>
</head>";
// Include the Main Wordpress blog header
include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/wp-blog-header.php";
//Now, you need to get the active theme's folder, and get a relative path to that folder
$homeurl=home_url();
$ddir= get_bloginfo( 'template_directory');
$current_theme_relative_path=substr_replace($ddir, "", 0, strlen($homeurl));
//echo "<br/>The relative path to the currently active theme is ".$current_theme_relative_path;
//Once you have the path, include the header and footer, adding your custom php code in between.
// Include the specific theme header you need
include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].$current_theme_relative_path."/header.php";
// Your custom PHP code STARTS here
// Add anything you want to display to the user
echo "
<h2>
Your form has been submitted
</h2>";
// END of custom code
?>
<?php
}
// Now end with the theme's footer
include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].$current_theme_relative_path."/footer.php";
?>
Was very helpfull (even if dated of 2011-13)
Also, as a thank you, i'm sharing the version i made
